*The Forgotten Scroll*
In the quiet, sun-scorched village of Kanodar, nestled on the fringes of the Thar Desert, life moved slowly—like the shifting dunes after a windstorm.

The Phone Call That Saved Millions: The Untold Hero of Chernobyl
The Phone Call That Saved Millions: The Scientist Who Refused to Hang Up The night of April 26, 1986, wasn't just a catastrophe; it was the moment the world teetered on the brink of a second, potentially far deadlier nuclear nightmare.
